ALL BLACK: RUNWAY STYLE

2015-09-18

I’m one of those people who’ll dress in all-black year round, regardless of the weather. These are just a few of my faves of my fave looks from the runway. I love structured, but simple statement pieces. I’ve also gained a recent obsession with capes.. No clue why. Donna Karan/DKNY and Alexander Wang NEVER disappoint with their black clothing. Instead of being typical, boring clothes, you can tell that they’re really trying to say something through their designs.

FALL SPLURGES

2015-09-11

Like I stated in my previous post, fall is the most amazing season for fashion. I believe that every outfit doesn’t have to be monochromatic–that’s why I incorporated several shades of beige/nude and mixed in the gray. If I had unlimited amounts of money, this would definitely be the outfit I would purchase for the upcoming season. I would picture myself in this outfit power-walking to the subway with a hot chai tea latte, on my way to a business meeting. These would be my fall splurges (if I could afford them).

CHLOÉ SHEARLING CAPE

I fell in love with this cape as soon as I saw it. It seems perfect for those extra chilly and windy days; you can wear it opened when it’s not as chilly, or pull it together when you don’t want to freeze.

($6,995)

RICK OWENS COTTON JERSEY DRESS

Nothing like pairing an oversized jacket with a slimming dress. I feel like this dress complements the hat well. ($385)

HERMÈS APPLE WATCH

I absolutely love the Hermès double wrap bracelets, so when I saw the Hermès x Apple Watch collaboration, I was in awe. Nothing says chic and fashion forward like a designer smart watch, right? ($1250)

ALEXANDER WANG PRISMA SKELETAL LEATHER BACKPACK

I’m a fiend for structured bags. The color is beautiful, and it looks like a good bag that would last you a long time.($1,095)

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN SO KATE “NATS”

Can we just appreciate the fact that Louboutin took women of color in consideration for his shoes? I haven’t seen a variation in nudes for a major, luxury brand. ($675)

RAG & BONE LEATHER-TRIMMED WOOL-FELT FEDORA

I love sassy hats! Since I’m natural and have ridiculously thick hair, I don’t really wear hats. If I can ever manage to force my hair under a hat, I would definitely rock this fedora. ($195)

As always, thanks for visiting threads & such! Come back next Friday!

FALLIN’ INTO THE NEW SEASON

2015-09-04

Yes, I know. You don’t want summer to end. I understand. On the bright side, there’s absolutely nothing like fall fashion. I pretty much only wear neutrals, and fall is the perfect time for me to bust out my olives, camels, and chocolate browns. A perfectly layered outfit with a killer jacket and thigh high boots excites me. I can’t wait for it to cool down–I’m really not about this 90-degree-weather-every-single-day life in D.C.. It’s too hot.
